Loco Dice is someone who can puzzle together intangible moods with a direct approach. Via his DJ sets or his productions on labels like M nus, Cadenza, Ovum, Four Twenty and Cocoon, he merges perspectives in his delicate sense for sounds and reflective atmospheres, underpinned with solid, physical grooves inspired by the hip hop that was his early sonic stomping ground in the mid- to late ‘90s. This Loco Dice, with his mercurial temperament, may let his thoughts run away with him, but he tends to chase those ideas and make them into an artistic reality. It’s an album that re-imagines the soul of a city, built from careful observations of urban tribes that crisscross and sometimes clash, of minute details and sensory impressions. Family is important to Loco Dice, as you might have noticed if you’ve seen one of his tattoos, a Chicano-style artwork with the legend Guadelupe.

It’s hard to believe that Loco Dice’s label has been around for so long – or more surprisingly that it covers so much ground. While much of the label’s focus remains on toolish, tribal house, 5 Years also covers deep, chiming house, audible on Yaya’s Our Connection and the driving, vocal-filled groove of Dice’s own Lolopopinho.
